Johnson & wales university Reviews

To start off, the academics or classes you take are more like ones in high school you take. It doesn't make it interesting unless you are in a special major such as culinary, equine, robotics, or something of that nature. The culinary classes I was in were something. Definitely had ups and downs but it may not be worth it since some skills you learn may never be used again. Your grandmother can probably be a better instructor. Now the living situations, the dorms are alright. It is difficult to live with others since you want them to revolve around your schedule but you also have to revolve around theirs. I always had bad roommates. You know ones that stay up late (up till 2 in the morning), snore, drink, smoke weed in the room, etc. It is probably just me that I can't live with others. You can change rooms but there have been less and less dorm rooms over the years. The worst part is that when you pick your room, you are given a random time to schedule. Best bet is to have the least amount of roommates as possible and having a private bathroom in your room. Don't want to be sharing the bathrooms and showers with hundreds of other people (bring some sandals and/or slippers). The dining situation kind of blows. For a school known for a culinary program, you could cook something better. There are less dining halls than when I started. The only option for breakfast is Starbucks. Lunch and Dinner is okay. Two dining options include all you can eat which is great. The menu changes every meal but you will see the same menu items a few weeks later. Everything also closes early on the weekends. Obviously, you don't want to spend so much money on take-out and delivery so best bet is get your food from a dining hall before it closes. The meal plan can be managed. You got either 7, 10, 14, or 18 meals a week. Each plan comes with flex which is a certain amount of dollars you can spend at the dining halls if you don't want a full meal or something that isn't part of a meal swipe. Best go with 10 or 14 meals a week.

I think it s crazy that local guides can give reviews when they know nothing about the experience of actually going to the college. Johnson & Wales was the worst choice I ever could have made in a college, which is really sad knowing I chose this school in honor of my grandfather who went here, and passed away right before getting to see me go to college. Professors are the only good part of the school. All the other workers who work in the offices, the actual people who run the school as a whole - a literal joke. The entire school is a joke. Student loans? Not worth it. This is a school that does not care about its students like it portrays that it does. Do not waste your time, you can get a better education and a better college experience probably at any. other. school.

Amazing school. I wouldn t be where I am today without JWU. Faculty & staff truly dedicate themselves to students success and life after graduation. The opportunities I ve had are because of the vastly known reputation and respect for this school. Highly recommend this school, especially for hospitality/culinary. They will work with you financially and support you the entire time. Proud to be a forever wildcat.

My wife started a Masters here and it's been horrible , the communication it's 0 . After being told the length of the degree she enrolled , we pay cash every month , after the first semester she found out by a classmate that they were not offering 4 classes per semester any longer so the program had to extend for a longer period . It's insane that they can just change major programs , not notify students and think is all good . Don't go to this place I really thought they were great but is all smoke and mirrors.

I do not go here. This is about the application form which I got in the mail. I will not be going here and would like to state this for the staff monitoring this, not for any person reading.

USING "AMERICAN INDIAN" IS NOT OK. Your application uses completely outdated language in that reguard. I noticed your application does include prefered name and non-binary as a gender option, but using American Indian is outdated and offensive language. Please, change this on your application. Whether its changed to Native or Indigenous, I don't care. Just please, change it. You seem like a pretty progressive school, which I commend. So I implore you to change this word usage.

Thank you.

I miss it!!

Graduated Nov '19 (the last fall term with trimesters).

Jwu really stands out with their career focus an all the networking opportunities via professional clubs and career fairs. There study abroad options are impressive! I was lucky enough to attend a semester at sea.

Taking core courses that are taught by former industry professionals makes going to class sooo worth it. Stand out professors are Prof. Rhodes, Lavin, and Boker. 10 out of 10 experience / at times, i felt like it was worth the price tag just for them.

Providence is such a cool vibe. It feels like a little slice of Boston... Without the traffic and big-city-feel nuisances. (This is also coming from somebody who thought that they did not like cities at all)

On Thursdays, (also because most students don't have class on Fridays), the city will literally feel like it's coming alive. Great energy around here even though there's homeless people who consistently panhandle. (You'll get to know the familiar faces and they'll leave you alone- definitely not a deal breaker).

I highly recommend getting your own apartment right away because it's outrageously priced otherwise. That is, unless you're on a full ride and room & board is covered. Although, one semester of on-campus housing is helpful in an effort to make friends.

This is very cliche to reference the university mantra... but "pride, courage, character, and community" really do define what the school is. I'm very proud to be a wildcat for life and am forever grateful to have the connections I made there.

Learning alot here. Our instructors are people with MANY years of experience. It's definitely hard work, but it's oh so worth it.

Did a tour with our high school senior. Beautiful campus & informative tour. Campus was smaller than I was expecting.

For such an expensive school I expect more. I m a first generation college student and have been given little to no guidance. For example I ve been trying to contact my academic counselor for the past 2 1/2 weeks with no luck. It s impossible to find resources you need to succeed. It s also been one of the loneliest experiences of my life, I m not sure if it because of starting college during covid regulations but Johnson and wales is not a great experience and I m going to have to transfer.
